Monday.
The next morning.
Dong Xuebing woke up from the sofa, and his mother was preparing breakfast with Xiao Qianqian. She should have woken up around 6 am. The master bedroom, where Xie Huilan and Qu Yunxuan slept last night, is also wide open. Dong Xuebing could hear Aunt Xuan and Sister Xie chatting in the bathroom. They seem to be discussing the important things to take note of during pregnancy. Dong Xuebing was overjoyed. It doesn't matter if his status is low, as long as his family can get along well with each other. As the saying goes, everything goes well if the family is harmonious.
Dong Xuebing got out of bed. "Mum, what are we having for breakfast?"
"Have some porridge and go wash up. The breakfast will be ready soon." Dong Xuebing's mother said to the kitchen.
Dong Xuebing turned to the bathroom and asked. "Huilan, Yunxuan, why are you up so early? Are you done showering? "
Xie Huilan smiled. "You are the one who woke up late. Hurry up and brush your teeth. Hahaha."
"Come, Xiao Bing." Qu Yunxuan poked her head out of the bathroom. "Huilan and I are done with our makeup. You go and wash up."
Dong Xuebing nodded and walked into the bathroom without waiting for them to come out. He was in a good mood.
During lunch.
Dong Xuebing's mother patted her granddaughter's head. "Yunxuan, we will go to your TV station's hostel first. I will not be going back for the next few days and will help you take care of Xiao Qianqian. After Xiao Qianqian gets used to her pregnancy, I will bring her back to Lin City. I am afraid she will not get used to the milk powder."
Qu Yunxuan laughed. "It's fine. Your place is not far from here, and I will go over every night to prepare the milk powder."
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's nothing for the kids."
"Sigh … if Xiao Bing is half as responsible as you, I will not need to worry about you."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Mum, don't make fun of me. How can I not dote on my daughter?"
Qu Yunxuan laughed. "Your task now is to take care of Huilan. You will be very busy with the two kids in the future."
Luan Xiaoping added. "That's right. You don't need to worry about Xiao Qianqian. Yunxuan and I are here. You just need to take good care of Huilan and take good care of your wife. If Mom knows you did not take good care of Huilan, I … I will not acknowledge you as my son. Understand?"
Everyone was amused when they heard Luan Xiaoping threatening them with this again.
Dong Xuebing replied. "Don't worry. I will treat Huilan like you for the next ten months."
Xie Huilan glanced at Dong Xuebing and smiled. "This brat is better at talking than singing. I wonder who will be the one taking care of who. Hahaha."
Luan Xiaoping replied. "Huilan, if he did not take good care of you, tell me. I will teach him a lesson!"
Xie Huilan laughed and agreed. "Sure." Xie Huilan saw Dong Xuebing is unhappy and smiled. "But Xiao Bing is very attentive when it comes to taking care of me. We have been married for so many days, and Xiao Bing is the one cooking at home. He had been taking good care of me."
Dong Xuebing nodded. "That's right."
… …
Around 9 pm.
Fen Zhou City Party Committee Compound.
Dong Xuebing did not drive today and had come in Xie Huilan's Land Rover. He does not want to be apart from Xie Huilan for a second. In the car, Dong Xuebing and Xie Huilan kissed each other for a while. Dong Xuebing patted Xie Huilan's tummy and refused to let go.
"Alright." Xie Huilan said helplessly. "It's time for me to go."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Give me a kiss before you leave."
Xie Huilan pouted. "Your colleagues from the Commission for Discipline Inspection are looking at us. Haha … let's talk at home, alright? "
"Kiss me before you leave."
"Don't be shy. Go back to work."
Dong Xuebing knows he should not be too intimate with Xie Huilan in the unit. After all, Xie Huilan is the Deputy Mayor, and Dong Xuebing is a Deputy Divisional Leader. He should not act like the rest of the staff members, or they will think he is immature. So, Dong Xuebing rubbed Xie Huilan's tummy one last time before alighting. He waved goodbye to her and watched as the Land Rover drove towards the City Government carpark.
City Commission for Discipline Inspection office building.
"Director."
"Chief Dong."
"Good morning, Chief Dong."
Many staff members and leaders greeted Dong Xuebing.
Since Dong Xuebing was transferred to the Commission for Discipline Inspection, he had done a few big things. For example, he crashed into a Deputy Director's car, his wife is Fen Zhou City's Deputy Mayor, and he gave 2000 ml of blood to the District Party Committee's Party Secretary to save him. Everyone looks at Dong Xuebing strangely. He had only been in charge for a few days, and he had done so many things. It is rare to see someone in a special department like the Commission for Discipline Inspection.
Inspection Office 1.
Director's office.
Dong Xuebing returned to his office with a complicated expression. He had been on a business trip for a long time and felt unfamiliar. Dong Xuebing lit a cigarette and went into his office to smoke. He had a baby and a pregnant lady at home yesterday, and his cravings were triggered.
Knock, knock … someone knocks on the door.
Dong Xuebing looks up. "Come in."
The door opened, and Luo Haiting entered in a long dress. It's the end of the year, and even the prettiest Sister Luo can't wear dresses anymore.
"Director." Luo Haiting smiled. "I am here to report to you."
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Have a seat, Sister Luo. How is your department doing recently?"
Luo Haiting laughed. "You had gone to investigate Zhang Huo, and everything else is fine. These are the documents from the past few days. Please take a look."
"Ok. Let me take a look." Dong Xuebing took the documents from Luo Haiting.
"There are also a few documents for you to sign." Luo Haiting passed a few more documents to Dong Xuebing.
Dong Xuebing spent an hour going through the documents, and his hands were getting tired. It's the end of the year, and the Commission for Discipline Inspection is very busy like all government departments. Of course, this is not the busiest period yet. Those geniuses before Lunar New Year are the busiest. Dong Xuebing, who had been in the government service for more than two years, knows this. He is afraid of being busy during Lunar New Year.
After settling all the documents, Luo Haiting said. "Director, you had been on a business trip for so many days, and there are some small matters that I did not ask you. Do you want me to tell you in detail?"
Dong Xuebing smiled and waved his hand. "With your Sister Luo around, what's there to worry about? You don't need to ask me for small matters, and you can decide for yourself. In the future, when I am not around, you will be in charge of the Inspection Office 1. If anyone has any objections, ask him or her to speak to me! "
Luo Haiting was touched. "Thank you for your trust."
Dong Xuebing points to the door. "The door is closed. Sister Luo, do we still need to be so courteous?"
Luo Haiting poured a cup of warm water for Dong Xuebing and placed it on the table. Her respectful expression became gentler. "Xuebing, Liu Hanqing had returned to work four days ago."
"Is his sick leave over?"
"Yes. Yes."
"How is he now?"
Luo Haiting said cheerfully, "After you taught him a lesson, he just went straight to the office and sat down. He didn't go to the office area of HR 1 to give orders."
Dong Xuebing nodded. At least Liu Hanqing knows his place. "Is there anything else in the unit?"
Luo Haiting thought for a while and said. "Actually, the most important task for now is to investigate Nanshan District's Deputy District Mayor Zhang Huo and District Party Secretary Geng Yuehua's corruption. But after you came back, we had investigated the case. Zhang Huo's son, Zhang Biao, had framed Secretary Geng Yuehua, and Zhang Huo had been arrested. The rest of the case of knocking into Secretary Geng Yuehua is also a criminal case, and the Public Security Bureau and the Prosecutor's Office will be handling it."
Dong Xuebing nodded. He had completed his first task at the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection. Not bad. He still lacks experience and needs some achievements to solidify his achievements.
"Anything else?" Dong Xuebing took out a cigarette.
Seeing this, Luo Haiting thoughtfully picked up the lighter on the table.
Dong Xuebing quickly replied. "No need. I can do it myself." Anyway, Dong Xuebing trusts people easily, especially pretty women. Actually, he does not treat Luo Haiting as his subordinate anymore. It's more appropriate to treat her as a friend.
Luo Haiting did not listen to Dong Xuebing and helped him light his cigarette. "There is nothing much in the unit these few days. The Commission for Discipline Inspection Bureau had investigated a few Deputy Section Chief and Deputy Section Chief rank officials. Oh, one more thing. Our City's Commission for Discipline Inspection's third in-charge, Commission for Discipline Inspection Deputy Secretary Zhan Guiping, is not back to work."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "Deputy Secretary Zhan?"
Dong Xuebing had met the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection's first and second in-charge, He Suien, and Xiao Bin. But he did not meet the other Deputy Secretary. Although he had been in office for a few days, he had been on a business trip most of the time. "What happened to Secretary Zhan?"
Luo Haiting replied. "I heard he had applied for a long leave. I had only met Secretary Zhan once, and he had applied for leave the next day. I heard his daughter was seriously injured in the earthquake, and he brought his daughter around to seek medical help. So …" Dong Xuebing had just arrived in the city, and his only connection with the City's Commission for Discipline Inspection is Xie Huilan.
ICBC's President Qian Lihua, the City's Electric Company's Head, Liu Chenlong, and Xu Yan are all outside the City Government. They are not of much help to Dong Xuebing, let alone the Commission for Discipline Inspection. Even Xie Huilan cannot help Dong Xuebing much. The Commission for Discipline Inspection's head is a member of the City's Party Committee and has more authority than Xie Huilan. Dong Xuebing still has to rely on himself. He Suien and Xiao Bin are not friendly to Dong Xuebing and have no intention to recruit him. Dong Xuebing can only think of another way. This Zhan Guiping … Dong Xuebing is considering if he can get close to Zhan Guiping.
Earthquake?
Daughter is injured?
Zhan Guiping?
Dong Xuebing paused for a second. "Secretary Zhan's daughter … is it Zhan Rourou?"
